Hamra Abbas’s Exhibition Explores the Colour Black and Links to the Kaaba

Black is an absence of colour or an amalgamation of all colours. Either way, it is not a colour in its own right. It is this scientific mystery that fascinated the artist Hamra Abbas, a topic on which she spent months, searching for a way to visually represent it. The result is the namesake piece of her latest exhibition currently showing at Lawrie Shabibi gallery in Dubai’s Alserkal Avenue, Kaaba Picture as a Misprint.
